Not faster. Blockchain difficulty is always adjusted so that each block happens in nearly regular intervals. For BTC it is 10 minutes, for LTC it's 2.5 minutes and for ETN it's 2 minutes. The block time interval is fixed. It can't be faster.

Got it, than the reverse assumption. Can it be slower than in case a network drops 100x, 1000x or fictional 10,000 times?

any blockchain has a difficulty adjustment. it will always try to run at its supposed average time. When network hashrate goes up difficulty adjusts to make it go back to its block time. when hash rate drops it also does the same. it has a period of adjustment spanning a few blocks to a few hundreds. but no matter the hashrate block time will eventually adjust to the right levels. so bigger faster equipment isnt faster blocks. you just get a bigger piece of the blocks as a miner. but for users they do not feel a thing
